Geocache Description:

The cache IS at the given location.  The cache may be found and the log can be signed at any time.  However, you must meet the criteria below to log it as a find.  The difficulty rating is for the challenge, not the hide.

To claim this as a find you must find a cache in every 1000 ft increment of elevation between 1000 ft below sea level and 11,000 ft.  To verify your claim, post a list of the 12 caches in each of the 1000 ft intervals in your "found it" log.  Please include GC codes and names.  My list looks like this:
 
-1000 to 0 ft:  GCH657 Don't Drink the Water (CA)
0 to 1000 ft: GC147KQ Old Mint (LA)
1000 to 2000 ft: GC39DRB Zoosmell Pooplord (AZ)
2000 to 3000 ft: GC1169 Mission9: Tunnel of Light (WA)
3000 to 4000 ft: GC20V59 Sabrina's Lookout (HI)
4000 to 5000 ft: GC1YWV3 Carey Out (ID)
5000 to 6000 ft: GC6FD7 Golden Spike (UT)
6000 to 7000 ft: GC1Z8TF Hello or Goodby (MT)
7000 to 8000 ft: GC123H6 Mt. Mazama (OR)
8000 to 9000 ft: GC14YV1 The Lake that Drains to 2 Oceans (WY)
9000 to 10000 ft: GC11ZBJ Souvenir Stash - Lake Tahoe (NV)
10000 to 11000 ft: GC2EE6P Dad's Cache (CO)

All cache finds, regardless of date, count toward the challenge, and this cache can count for the 6000 - 7000 ft interval.  Extra bonus points if each of the 12 is in a different state or province.

May be hard to find in the winter.
